SINGAPORE: A man was fined S$3,500 by a district court on Monday (Feb 20) for slapping an elderly pedestrian who had shouted at him, asking why he was driving so fast.
Adrian Low Kim Chye, 37, pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt.
A second charge of using threatening behaviour by holding a long torchlight during the altercation was considered in sentencing.
The court heard that Low was driving a car in the car park outside Block 206, Hougang Street 21, near Heartland Mall at about 7.35am on May 17 last year.
Low was with his friend and they were intending to eat at the nearby food centre.
The victim, a 73-year-old man, was standing on the road next to a kerb in the car park, along a bend.
Low drove around the bend and honked once as he was rounding the bend.
The victim, who was standing on the road, raised his right hand and shouted at the car: "Why you drive so fast?"
As Low passed the victim, he heard a "bang" sound from inside the car and surmised that the victim may have hit the car.
Low stopped his vehicle and alighted with a torchlight to confront the victim.
The two men scolded and shouted at each other.
During the shouting match, the elderly man shouted: "You hit me la."
